Hi @mrizwan93
Thank you for the changes and you first mrack contribution :)
Apart from other comments:
- Could you add an example to /src/mrack/data/provisioning-config.yaml for reference?
- Could you add unit test?
A couple of commit of similar nature (adding new field with transformer/provider update):

Allow passing per-OS user_data from provisioning config to ec2.create_instances().
This enables boot-time instance configuration (e.g. enabling OpenSSH on Windows)
without requiring custom AMIs.
in provisioning-config.yaml, user have to define user_data var and provide the set
of commands it needs to execute on aws provisioned host like:
```
aws:
images:
win-2025: <image-id>
win-2022: <image-id>
flavors:
default: t3.medium
...
user_data:
win-2025: |
<powershell>
# Set Administrator password (matches ad_admin_password in mhcfg)
net user Administrator Secret123
Restart-Service sshd
</powershell>
win-2022: |
<powershell>
# some commands
</powershell>
users:
win-2025: Administrator
win-2022: Administrator
```
